Write the expression for the product of
three consecutive odd integers starting with x.
-----------------------
1st: x
2nd: x+2
3rd: x+4
----------
Expression:
x(x+2)(x+4
===========
Comment: This is a poor question. It gives you the impression
that both even and odd numbers can be represented by x.
Even numbers should be represented as multiples of 2,
such as 2x, 2x+2, 2x+4, etc.
--------
Odd numbers should be represented as one less or one more than
an even numbers, such as 2x-1,2x+1,2x+3...
------
